Fanmix Title: All We Are: A Plaude Mix
lotus0kid made a great Plaude mix the other day, but it was kind of depressing. So it inspired me to make a not-so-depressing mix of my own with a small story to go along with it. For the purposes of this mix, after he leaves, Claude realizes his mistake and comes back for Peter.
1. "World Spins Madly On" by The Weepies
Peter's depressed and defeated. Claude left and he doesn't know what he's going to do.
Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
And let the world spin madly on
Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on
2. "Train Song" by Ben Gibbard and Feist
Except Claude decides to come back.
Nothing at all, in my head, to say to you
Only the beat of the train I'm on
Nothing I've learned all my life on the way to you
One day our love was over and gone
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll say when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
3. "After the Bombs" by The Decemberists
And once things calm down in Peter's life (after Volume 1, 2, 3, or 4? It's up to you!), they decide to try and be together. (Also, yeah, this is the song I used when I titled this fic.)
After the bombs subside
And this long, low campaign
Calls it good for the night
We meet in the streets
Will we meet in a bar's cold light?
We grip at our hands
We hold just a little tight
After the bombs
After the bombs subside
4. "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver
But Claude's been through so much pain with his past that he doesn't know if he can make this relationship work.
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owing all the fines
5. "Love's Not a Competition (But I'm Winning)" by Kaiser Chiefs
They get off to a rocky start, not sure how to go about actually making this work, even though they both want to.
I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore,
I know, I've said all this and that you've heard it, all before,
The trick is, getting you to think that all this, was your idea,
And that this, was everything you've ever wanted, out of here,
Love's not a competition but I'm winning.
I'm not sure, what's truly altruistic, anymore,
When every, good thing that I do is listed, and you're keeping score,
Love's not a competition but I'm winning.
Love's not a competition but I'm winning.
6. "Set Down Your Glass" by Snow Patrol
Peter's almost ready to give up, convinced that he's broken and that he's changed too much.
Your saved and I'm killed
I'm just not the same
As I was a year ago and each minute since then
My jumper tears
As we take it off
You say you'll sew me good as new and I know you will
And I'm shaking then I'm still
When your eyes meet mine
I lose simple skills
Like to tell you all I want is now
7. "Starlings" by Elbow
But even with all the uncertainty, Claude still loves and wants to be with him.
I sat you down and told you how
the truest love that's ever found
is for oneself
You pulled apart my theory
With a weary and disinterested sigh
So yes I guess I'm asking you
To back a horse that's good for glue
And nothing else.
But find a man that's truer than,
Find a man that needs you more than I
8. "All We Are" by Matt Nathanson
Peter loves Claude too and he wants them to be happy and stop wasting time.
Tasted, tasted
love so sweet,
all that of it is lost on me.
bought and sold like property
sugar on my tounge.
Kept falling over,
kept looking backward.
Went broke believing,
That the simple should be hard.
all we are, we are,
all we are, we are.
Every day is the start of something beautiful.
9. "Till Kingdom Come" by Coldplay
The end, where they're happy and together and actually functional.
Steal my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time, my time has come
Let me in, unlock the door
I never felt this way before
And the wheels just keep on turning
Drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know which way I've come
Hold my hand inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who heals
For you I've waited all these years
BONUS TRACKS
10. "I Hate Everyone" by Get Set Go
This was on a really old Plaude mix, but I still think of Claude every time I listen to it. So I decided to resurrect it as a bonus track.
All the people on the street, I hate you all
And the people that I meet, I hate you all
And the people that I know, I hate you all
And the people that I don't, I hate you all
Oh, I hate you all
I bet you think I'm kidding
But I promise you its true
I hate most everybody
But most of all I hate
Oh, I hate you
11. "The Lightning Strike" by Snow Patrol
I really wanted to use this as a main track, but it's one song with three sub-songs in it that is about 17 minutes long. Epic and awesome, but it's bonus track material.
(I) What If the Storm Ends?
I want to see you
As you are now
Every single day
That I am living
Painted in flames
All peeling thunder
Be the lightning in me
That strikes relentless
(II) The Sunlight Through the Flags
Worry not everything is sound
This is the safest place you've found
The only noise beating out is ours
Lacing our tea from honey jars
Why don't you rest your fragile bones
A minute ago you looked alone
Stop waving your arms you're safe and dry
Breathe in and drink up the winter sky
(III) Daybreak
Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands
And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church
The one on the corner you said frightened you
It was too dark and too large to find your soul in
Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
